Stupid resource flags

[Shawn]

I wasn’t dropping resource flags the last few runs, so this time I scattered them everywhere thinking ‘I’ll get ahead of this!’

What I really did was create a huge rope sink and backlog of work for builders.

It took me a while to figure out why nothing was being built! Finally it clicked!

DoH!!!

yeah the flags are a pain in the arse, there radius is way to small. i have 20 things i need to get done before winter and the invasion, i dont have time to find resources and drop flags across the map. i hope they change this.

When you are running into the wilds dropping those markers, it just takes 3 sticks and 1 rope which can be super easily crafted and gathered in the wild. Just carry a hammer. Your complain, sorry to say but sounds very non-sense.

No argument. It is easy to make them. This wasn’t a gripe to devs, this is a warning not to f up like I did

Then you should have titled the post as 'Stupid me' rather than 'Stupid resource flags'. You could have just gone on another run and dismantle unnecessary Resource markers.

Be aware that whilst running around placing resource flags you can place other flags for resources like stone and tree's, you can also do all this whilst looking for Jotun Blood, which is when I go planting flags.

And one last warning, The food resource gathering flag (at this time) is a one time only deal for food within it's radius, the gatherers will still go and get seeds and fiber from those flags, but no food once they cleared it the first time. So next season there will be no gathering of that seasons food and so on from that flag anymore.

The only way round this until Dev's fix this is to go around and rebuild all food resource flags.

I also recommend removing woodcutter flags once they clear an area so tree's can grow back. Though not quite sure if they do yet, still watching a spruce, I'll let you know.

And like the OP said; "build them yourself"

I will give your comment the weighty consideration it deserves.

I was not aware that the forage resources flags were one time shot. Thanks!

As for re-growing trees: there is a dev comment in the July 12 update thread that trees should not currently re-grow. If they do it is a bug.

Uuuggghhh.... I guess that'll be why I had an absolute ton of food in the first year with loads going to waste, and am barely scraping by at the start of 2nd winter whilst seeing veggies growing right next to flags. Is the same issue present for hunting as well as foraging?

[Shawn]

Hunting seems bountiful. I’ve got meat laying on the ground cause stores are all full.
